Reply #24: Well put Warpy ...

Like the angry young (and middle aged) men who drive around with "stars and bars" banners on their pick up trucks ... or my neighbor a half mile away who sports "lawn jockeys" at the entrance to his drive way ... or his neighbor who proudly flies the rebel flag on it's own 15 foot flagpole in their front yard ...

The people above, like your Mom are *beyond reach* through reason. Something happened to them or perhaps it was years of being raised by racist parents.

My sympathies goes out to the African Americans and Mexican Americans who show the MOST tolerance. These people anger me but I can only imagine how "their targets" feel about such insanity.

Racism is still running rampant in the USA. In the southern states it's less overt but CLEARLY communicated.

I agree with Warpy's excellent advice, work on yourself and other young people who may still be open minded enough to cherish goodwill and equality among the peoples of this world. Challenging "Mom" will only make home life miserable and serves no useful purpose. I know, I've been there.
